Breaking news! Our blend of locally sourced beeswax, organic coconut
oil, hempseed oil and zinc oxide will leave you more kissable than you
are now. Customers report that Lo-Lo Lips is one of the best lip balms
available. Why is it that some lip balms can cause your lips to dry out
if you stop using them, or if you lose them (and let’s face it, we ALL
lose them), you can end up chapped and raw. Lo-Lo Lips doesn’t force you
to reapply in order to maintain a healthy balanced level of moisture
ideal for your beautiful lips. Ten yummy flavors, no parabens, fillers,
or dyes – just a natural lip moisturizer that has everything your lips
want and nothing they don’t. The truth is, your LIPS may not get
addicted, but I dare anyone to try it and not feel like an addict! Kiss
me, Lo-Lo, I’m in LOVE!

She wants to do Christmas sweaters for the kids (like this one), the Kate Oates way, so the sweaters can grow with the kids.

Gigi has finished the tubes for a pair of socks out of Opal, and they just need the afterthought heels.

Jasmin loves working with her hand spun, and she picked up the 2014 SPAKAL cardigan, and she is making progress. She is very excited about working with it.

Gigi has also been working on a pair of socks for Sam, which has been adventurous. It looks like this new incarnation of the sock should fit.

Also, she is working on the fifth preemie hat for this month.Contest:(22:13)
